Goodnight, Moon. Goodnight, Fun. New Haven (Google Maps location) October 3, 2015 I don't know what's going on at this place.

Stony Creek Museum
Let's Rock and Roll Branford (Google Maps location) October 3, 2015 My gosh this is a cute-looking little museum in the cute little Stony Creek section of Branford.
